I had never heard of the Asphalt Road shot, until I seen it on this lime juice tag from Pompeii Juices.
Being a fan of Irish Cream, this one definitely sounds interesting.
The Kamakazie Shot likely originated in the 1970's, however it gained it's popularity in the 1980's.
Although, we of course, know that the original term kamikazie referred to the Japanese suicidal pilots from World War II.
Without further ado from Pomeii Juices, here is the Kamakazie Shot drink recipe for you....
Ingredients:
1 part Pompeii Lime Juice
1 part vodka
1 part Triple Sec
Directions:
Shake well with ice and strain mixture into a shot glass.
Pompeii Juices included a few drink recipes on their lime juice.
Ranch Water recipes have been popping up a lot here lately.
This one showed up in my Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I'm sure I know a couple of people who would enjoy this.
Spicy Salty Ranch Water
Ingredients:
2 jalapeños (1 thinly sliced, 1 frozen)
1 12-ounce glass bottle Top Chico, very well chilled
2 ounces blanco tequila, very well chilled
1 lime (2 tablespoons juice)
Pinch of sea salt
Lime wedge
Tajin, for garnish
Directions:
Grate frozen jalapeño onto cutting board.
Add tequila, lime juice, pinch of salt, a few slices of jalapeño, and some of the grated jalapeño to a glass of Topo Chico.
Use a lime wedge to wet the glass rim.
Sprinkle with Tajin.
For those who like their margaritas with a zing, I think you will like this ranch water recipe as well.
Enjoy, and please remember to drink responsibly!
Southern Living came out with an article on May 19th, 2025 stating "Meet your new favorite cocktail".
I hate to tell them, but it's been mine for a year and a half now. Glad they've caught up.
Here's my version of Ranch Water.
Ingredients:
1 ounce your favorite tequila
3/4 ounce lime juice (fresh squeezed lime is best)
4 ounces of seltzer water
ice
Directions:
Fill tall glass with ice.
Add tequila, lime juice and seltzer water, in that order.
Stir lightly.
I usually use the Polar brand of seltzer water. However, I was only a few cents shy of getting free shipping on Amazon, so I added this 1L bottle of Happy Belly Seltzer Sparkling water. It is so bubbly, it's great!
Back to Southern Living, and their "Best Texas Ranch Water" recipe.
3 oz. blanco tequila, such as Espolon or Casamigos (about 2 shots)
1 1/2 oz. fresh lime juice (about 1 shot)
Topo Chico, chilled
Fresh lime wedge for garnish
Fill a rocks glass with ice—really, whatever glass you have on hand is fine.
Add tequila and fresh lime juice to glass with ice.
Top with Topo Chico. Add fresh lime wedge to the rim of the glass. Enjoy!
As you notice, it's pretty close to the way I've made it with a little more tequila.
Enjoy and please remember to drink responsibly!
